High Speed 1 - HS1 Railway Line Construction

With all the current news about HS2 being planned and the route from London to Manchester via Birmingham I thought it might be useful to collect some of the photos together for the HS1 High Speed One Channel Tunnel rail link construction project.

HS1 High Speed One Channel Tunnel rail link, also known as Channel Tunnel Rail Link CTRL runs from the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone to St Pancras station in London running through some of the most picturesque parts of Kent with many new tunnels, bridges and viaducts constructed for the opening in 2003. The route is 67 miles from London to Folkestone.
